okay, In Other Words by Mona Baker, now done. it's the first of three Translation Theory books I'm planning on tackling, so I don't really have anything to compare it to, but it was billed as a college-level textbook, and I can 100% see a class based around it. it was organized quite well, I thought, starting with a discussion of word equivalencies, and proceeding through phrases, texts, and finally how individual texts relate to whole societies and humanity. in general, it felt very introductory, like, this would be your first semester's Intro To Translation Theory class. 👍
